    Another £6.25 in my pot this week.  I hope everyone is staying safe and well.  We had a busy week last week as we were doggy sitting my DD's two puppies, they are absolutely adorable and I didn't want to give them back  :wink: but she insisted on picking them up on Saturday :'( oh well, at least our old boy is pleased to be an only dog again!  Enjoy the rest of the week folks, try to get out when the sunshine arrives :)

    Well done to everyone who’s managing to keep potting.
    Normally round about Thursday I tend to pot some of my travel savings but it’s been a bit of a tight one finance-wise so not going to pot this week. Managed to pot every week so far so one week off can’t hurt too much.
    I have a (possibly) mildly amusing story from this week. Don’t read on if you’re about to have your tea.... I was in Tesco shopping and there was a little boy of about 2 or 3 in a trolley, offering his Dad something green from his nose. His Dad was trying to pretend it wasn’t happening, which I can very much relate to from certain times my own little treasure was of a similar age. I said to the little boy how nice it was to offer his Dad a present - at which point he offered the present to me!! Made me and his Dad laugh anyway  :)
    Keep well everyone, and have a good rest of week and weekend.

    Hi Potters 😊 I hope you've had a lovely week!! Enjoy today and the weekend ahead. Stay safe and healthy folks!!  

    For all those who are either ill or low in any way, please take great care and I sincerely hope you're all well and that you will soon be back with us.  For now, take great care and be kind to yourselves. 3


    Oooo what lovely doggy sitting, Siju, I bet they're a couple of little rascals, so no wonder your dear fellah was glad to have some peace.
    Great potting!

    NB It made me mad just now to look through and see any folk having posted....as mine from Wednesday in response to Siju and Dragon Lily wasn't here!!!! 😳🥺 So sorry ladies, a fault with MSE I'm afraid!! >:)

    It's not been easy to pot this last year for sure, Dragon Lily, but if you're able, you can use the bank from Oct 2020 on. Have a look on the 1st post for further details.
    Brilliant work with the £3 though! 

    Hi Ant, a shame you haven't been able to save your travel money, understandable though as we all get these times.
    Oh, the joy of kiddies eh!! 😂 I always made darned sure my two had clean noses as it really turned me off to see kiddies doing that!! 🙈
    Look after yourself. 

    Another £20 transferred into the SPC account

    Have a really LOVELY WEEKEND, folks!  Stay safe, healthy and DRY!   🤩

    Morning Pottersssssssssss
    £33 went in the pot yesterday after managing to cash out on Prolific 3 times in a week! Still throwing dribbs and drabs in as I have them, pots are still depressingly light though :( 
    DH and I are now officially double dosed with the vaccine yayyyyy! AND we have managed to book a table for monday at a restaurant as DH has his hospital infusion that day so we figured we would get out there and support our local restaurants afterwards (and I really want someone else to cook my dinner that isn't McDonalds!)
    Back into the shadows I go, hopefully to find some more pennies

    I so nearly bought myself a nice coffee today but there was a queue so I decided to pot the cost of it instead. 
    I hope your meal was nice @jakes-mum. It was good and a little strange to see people inside coffee shops etc when I walked along the High Street today.

    You're just about right with MSE, Siju, still I'll be sure to check in future. 🙄

    20p is still good, Money_Choices. Keep up the good work. 😉

    Ah so your DH had his infusion the same day as my DD has her monthly MS infusion jakes-mum! What does your DH have his for, if it's not a rude question? DD also has an iron infusion every so often.
    Excellent survey potting!! 😍
    It's good to hear you're both vaccinated.
    Enjoy your meal and it's good to see you 😊 

    Excellent for potting what you could have spent on coffee, Ant!!
    Great work.

    Enjoy the WEEK, folks!  Stay safe, healthy and DRY!   🤩 Flippin rain doesn't know when to stop!

    Hi Potters
    Can't believe another week has gone by so quickly even though I appear to have done nothing!  We haven't been brave enough to go near the town yet but we have started back in our dance classes.  Only 6 to 8 people in the class so quite a nice introduction to mixing with others again.  I've started buying a few bits and pieces for the new arrival in September, DH rolls his eyes every time he sees me looking at baby clothes!!  I remind him how often I catch him looking at classic cars  :smirk:
    Another £6.25 in the pot this week.  Stay safe and well folks and enjoy the rest of your week. :smile:
